emacs not installing on jessie

[radiokk6]

Hi,
Has anyone tried to install emacs lately? I just tried to install it on jessie. It won't install.
I get 404 errors wrt toeh libmagickcore packages.

In the 404 error, it gives an IPv6 address.

Anyone else see this and have a solution? I'm gonna try again in a few hours.

Did you run

Code: Select all

sudo apt update

before trying to install?
And please post the *full* error message (surround with code tags for better readability)

Thank you!

the solution was to run : sudo apt update

The package index files on the installation had be rsynced. It would be nice if the installer for Raspbian would do this as a last step after installation.

It would be nice if the installer for Raspbian would do this as a last step after installation.

If anything it should do it *before* downloading a new package.
'update' updates the cache on the Pi with available packages in the repository.
The installer then knows which package / version to download.

It's best to get into the habit of running 'sudo apt update' before upgrade, dist-upgrade and install
